<br />recommend to the Council that the name of the ordinance be changed to <br />"Lawn Fertilizer and Pesticides." <br /> <br />Member Neprash said he didn't think the current ordinance coincided with <br />current state statute. Mr. Schwartz said in any event state statute <br />supersedes the city ordinance. <br /> <br />Member Neprash suggested they make a recommendation on the signage <br />issue right away and then work on the remainder of the ordinance over the <br />next several months. Member DeBenedet said he'd like to address the <br />whole ordinance at once. Member Willenbring suggested that a couple <br />commission members get together and work out the details before the next <br />meeting. Mr. Schwartz said he could set up a time with the city attorney <br />although he had previous communication from the city attorney from <br />2004, and the current wording is what was recommended at that time. Mr. <br />Schwartz said he didn't believe there had been any further changes to state <br />statute since 2004, but that could be clarified. <br /> <br />Member DeBenedet moved that the item be tabled until next month so that <br />staff could check to see if the entire ordinance is aligned with state statute <br />and if there is any latitude to change the buffer zone around water sources <br />for application. Member Neprash seconded. <br /> <br />Member Fischer said that MPCA requirements are 25' between water <br />resources. <br /> <br />8. Brenner Millwood Storm Water Study Discussion <br /> <br />Member Willenbring and Mr. Schwartz gave a background on this topic. <br />Kris Giga, staff engineer, outlined the study that was performed. <br /> <br />Member DeBenedet said the model results reported don't correlate with <br />what he's seen in his neighborhood, and he's wondering if the correct data <br />was used, specifically the type of soil. He thinks it's very heavy clay <br />instead of the sandy clay that was used in the model. Mr. Schwartz said <br />the soil type came right from actual soil boring that were done in the area. <br /> <br />Member DeBenedet suggested having a meeting with residents in the <br />neighborhood to discuss the options. <br /> <br />Member Neprash said he agreed with routing backyard catch basins to <br />Owasso. <br /> <br />9.
